Senegal's honorary consul in Singapore has been released on bail while
police continue an investigation into an illegal gambling house that was
busted at the consulate last week, police said Thursday. Benny Kusni, a
36-year-old Indonesian, was released Wednesday night, a day after being
detained on charges of helping to run "a common gaming hall." It was not
immediately possible to reach Kusni. Last Friday, police busted a gambling
ring in the offices of the Senegal consulate. Thirty-one people were
arrested in the raid, including three local members of the Senegal Trade and
Investment Committee.
